If the weatherman is right, we may get some snow this week. It shouldn't be as much as they got back east, but enough to shovel. Here are some tips to help avoid injuring your spine while shoveling:
• Be sure to stretch first, focus on the back, hamstrings, and shoulders.
• Be sure to stay well hydrated, even though there's snow, it's pretty dry here
• Try to use a lightweight shovel that doesn't force you to bend too much
• When shoveling try to use your legs more than your back
• Try to avoid twisting when throwing the snow
• If you can hire a kid to do it for you and it is cheaper than your copay, do it!
If you do feel sore afterwards, give us a call, we are here to help!
